This case study discusses risk assessment and the subsequent methodologies and approaches
for landslide risk reduction. The Baguio City landslide risk mitigation project in the Philippines focused on strengthening community capacity and enhancing local commitment. The project for Kaluthara District in Sri Lanka developed a landslide early warning system through a school-based network of rainfall monitoring stations. Finally, the project for Patong City in Phuket, Thailand relied more on instrumentation and technical risk assessment as the basis for structural mitigation
measures.
